1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In all organisms, transfer RNAs (tRNAs) contain numerous modified nucleotides. For many base modifications in tRNAs, the functional significance is not well understood, and the enzymes performing the modification reactions are unknown. Here, we have studied members of a family of putative nucleotide deaminases in the model plant Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). We show that two Arabidopsis genes encoding homologs of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) tRNA adenosine deaminases catalyze adenosine-to-inosine editing in position 34 of several cytosolic tRNA species. The encoded proteins (AtTAD2 and AtTAD3, for tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase) localize to the nucleus and interact with each other in planta in bimolecular fluorescence complementation and coimmunoprecipitation assays. Both AtTAD2 and AtTAD3 are encoded by essential genes whose knockout is lethal and leads to arrested embryo development at the globular stage. Knockdown mutants for AtTAD2 and AtTAD3 display reduced growth and inefficient editing from adenosine to inosine in six nucleus-encoded tRNA species. Moreover, upon comparison of DNA and complementary DNA sequences, we discovered cytidine-to-uridine RNA editing in position 32 of two nucleus-encoded serine tRNAs, tRNA-serine(AGA) and tRNA-serine(GCT). This adds a unique type of RNA editing to the modifications occurring in nuclear genome-encoded RNAs in plants.
